I wasn't a fan of the silver...
Then I high-centered, and REALLY wasn't a fan of scratched up silver...
So....if you high centered with black, do you think it would look any better?

What kind of question is that? Yes, I did something dumb and learned my lesson. I covered up my shameful reminder and actually like the looks better. Jesus Christ, guy

Yes, you completely missed the point. So you scratched it and covered it in black. But you could have easily covered it in silver. Either way, damage done and damage covered. Why is that so difficult to understand?

Black to hide the shame, not to repair it.

Easy to fix though.....whether using a wrap of some sort or something like Plasti-Dip. Maybe not exactly a permanent repair, but a repair non-the-less.

I just ordered front/rear blackout vinyl from @brainexploder. If I can't get it installed properly, I might do plastidip or similar.
Iā€™ve used both on other vehicles and recommend the vinyl. Even if you order a simple roll of 3M black from Amazon. The Platidip in that area will chip and leave the silver showing through like glitter. Lots of road debris, rocks, etc going to punish that front area. Youā€™d likely have to respray every couple of months.

it will be a simple wrap if you remove the panels. And should last you a few years before needing to be redone.
